This project used a historical dataset on the modern Olympic Games, including all the Games from Athens 1896 to Rio 2016.

The Olympic data is the result of an incredible amount of research by a group of Olympic history enthusiasts and self-proclaimed 'statistorians'. Randi H Griffin scraped this data from the webpage and consolidated their work into a convenient format for data analysis.
